    I'm a Preston Reed fan, but I have to wait until later to check out the link. 

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot--hey, who the hell are you guys?

    The preseneter credits Preston with inventing the style, is that a fair statment. I assume he's referrring to the playing of the neck, as the percusive body is part of Spanish playing.

    I've some Erik Mongrain recording where he plays the neck this way, tapping the strings (I don't fully get it) and saw Rodrigo and Gabriela at a festival about 3 years ago, wit there style. Though Gabriela credits some of the percussinve etchniques to her time in Ireland and the drum they play there

    I don't know if Preston originated the percussive playing of a guitar.  I've heard the occasional song were they've used it as break.  I think Preston evolved what was a novelty bit into his playing style and makes it seem very natural.

    The last concert I went to was a Rodrigo and Gabriela show.  They really can tear it up!

    I was surpised to see Gabriela and Rodrigues true love is heavy metal, and were proper metallers when originally in Mexico
